New poem; Ghetto Yout Song

Just finished this poem and wanted to share it as soon as I was done... do enjoy



Ghetto Yout Song




I mean no disrespect


But wat de fuck do you expect?


Dis is de truth


An nothin’ but de truth


Tings jus too damn hard for de youts




Went to de bank to take a loan


De officer ah watch me up and down,


Like I come tief at his home.


Jus tell me I cyah get de money


Instead of pretending every ting nice


Dis not no land of milk and honey.




How dis poor ghetto yout


Ah get collateral, ah get land paper?


De man gimme de run around,


De system send me a rob an tief,


Cuz I tell him a Pound mi born


Ah Roseau me come from.




Where de bed of roses?


So nothing for de poor, black yout?


Best I tief a ting for true,


Sell a pack or two.


Is dat de system ah send me to do.




There’s anger in my voice,


Cuz I doh have a damn choice


Dey pushing me against de wall,


All I can do is scream an bawl


Hoping someone will hear my call.




Someone, come to my rescue


Lead me from dis place, so destitute.


Is not like I want to commit a crime


But dere might jus come a time,


When that’s all I can see


As my way outta dis misery.




I need to help myself,


Somebody tell me what’s next


What should I expect?


When all I want is some real respect!!!
